Ahem, gentlemen. It has come to our attention that Rise of the Reds would benefit greatly from a Rise of the Reds article and I concur. Now I can't do this on my own even if I dedicated enough time because I'm terribly at editing wikis. This is where the rest of you come in. This will be an open project to all community members that are willing that can participate in. You can help the project in one of more of these activities: 1) Fluff (Explaining and answering the fluff to people) 2) Trope spotting (spotting a trope and correctly classifying it) 3) Article Editing (Make the article look presentable) 4) Discussions (Your chance to help improve the fluff and at the same time become more familiar with it) How will this work? A perfectly good example would be this: Member A spots a trope and presents it Member A and D starts a discussion over the trope and subject Member B clarifies and broadens the subject A consensus is reached and the trope is finalized for listing Member C edits the new trope into the article. Any questions? -------------------- |

Well, we could note that it's the most expansive/ambitious mod made for C&C Generals (As far as I know of), and perhaps second only to Red Alert 3 Paradox in scale. We also need a link to the site (obvious) and a short summary of what the mod is.
How about these faction tropes for a start? United States of America: Americans Are Cowboys Attack Drone: Plenty of unmanned combat vehicles. Badass Boast: Col. Burton and the Pathfinders are the most obvious examples Beam Spam BFG: The Particle Cannon Blinded By The Light: The Ranger's Flashbangs Cold Sniper: The Pathfinder Cool Plane: Sort of their thing. Eagleland: Both Types 1 and 2. Elite Army Invisibility Cloak Hover Tank: The Crusader Frickin' Laser Beams Kill Sat: Subverted with the Particle Beam Cannon Laser Sight: Used by the Missile Defenders and Avenger to increase accuracy & rate of fire, and by aircraft to increase the accuracy/damage of their weapons. Patriotic Fervor Photoprotoneutron Torpedo: The Particle Beam Cannon Pillar Of Light: The Particle Beam Cannon. Point Defenseless: Averted Robot Roll Call Spy Drone: The Global Hawk and the Sentry Drone Spy Satellite Trick Bomb: The chaff & flare upgrades. Wave Motion Gun: The Particle Beam Cannon, again. Wild Weasel: The Stealth Fighter. Yanks With Tanks Global Liberation Army: Action Bomb: Terrorists or Bomb Trucks Awesome Personnel Carrier: The Battle Bus Back From The Brink: Again! Base On Wheels Break Out The Museum Piece: Makes heavy use of Cold War era weaponry. Cold Sniper: Jarmen Kell Cool Bike Depleted Phlebotinum Shells: Anthrax Shells Hit-and-Run Tactics Hypocrite: In droves. Incredibly Obvious Bomb: Bomb Trucks when not camouflaged. Invisibility Cloak Improvised Weapon: A whole lot. Knight Templar Landmine Goes Click Macross Missile Massacre: Most of their artillery centers around this. Mad Bomber Master Poisoner: General Suleimaan. Middle Eastern Coalition: Loosely. Multiple Life Bars: Their buildings, and the Battle Bus. Occupiers Out Of Our Country: Their motive. The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized Stealth-Based Game: When you play as them. Suicide Attack: Terrorists Technicolor Toxin Terrorists Without a Cause Trying To Catch Me Fighting Dirty: Plenty of dick moves and sneaky tactics. Tube Travel: their tunnel network system, now much expanded. Tunnel King Poisoned Weapons Universal Poison: Anthrax is inexplicably this. Worker Unit: The Worker Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters People's Republic of China: Attack! Attack! Attack! Awesome Personnel Carrier: The Chinese APC. Bayonet Ya BFG: The Overlord Tank and Nuclear Artillery. China Takes Over The World: Subverted Chinese With Chopper Support: Especially with the Han Gunship! Cool Airship: The Propaganda Airship. The Cracker: Chinese Hackers & Black Lotus Depleted Phlebotinum Shells: The DU shell upgrade. Gatling Good: The Chinese make extensive use of Vulcan cannon like machine guns and autocannon. I Love Nuclear Power Kill It With Fire: The Chinese also heavily use incendiary weapons. Landmine Goes Click More Dakka: See Gatling Good. Nuke 'Em: China's MO. Phlebotinium Bomb: The EMP bomb. Red China Slap On The Wrist Nuke: Clearly averted. Tank Goodness: China's other MO. Videogame Flamethrowers Suck: Averted. Zerg Rush: Often used by the Red Army general. Russian Federation: BFG: The Sentinel Tank mounts a 220mm cannon. Chain Lightning: Tesla weapons can have this effect. Conscription: Obviously. Cool Tank: A great deal! Cool Plane: The PAK-FA. Disintegrator Ray: the result of Tesla weapons. Gasmask Mooks Glorious Mother Russia Lightning Can Do Anything Lightning Gun: Tesla Weapons Magnetic Weapons: Railguns. Night Vision Goggles: A possible upgrade for Russian infantry. One-Hit Polykill: Possible with railgun weaponry. Red Scare: Subverted, the Russian Federation is not communist. Reds With Rockets/Russians With Rusting Rockets: Played straight. Shock And Awe Soviet Superscience: General Aleksandrov lives on this. Tank Goodness Training From Hell: The Shocktroopers go through this, and are trained in Siberia. European Continental Army: The Alliance Awesome Personnel Carrier: The Lynx IFV BFG: The Claymore artillery. Cool Plane: The Goshawk. Deflector Shields: Possibly. Fixed Forward Facing Weapon: The Jagdmammut. Gatling Good: The Goalkeeper. Kill Sat: The ECA Solar Blast weapon. La Resistance: In lore. Landmine Goes Click Mighty Glacier More Dakka: The Goalkeeper. Multinational Team Pillar of Light: The Solar Blast. The Power Of The Sun United Europe: Subverted when the Russians ruined it. -------------------- "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

I ain't that good picking correct tropes so I'll just point out some possible points till I get the hang of things a bit more -
QUOTE Hypocrite: In droves. Hypocrite more or less goes for every single faction in the game US lives on super science Doing what's right - at least according to most US unit voices Knight Templar - Crusader and Paladin QUOTE Cool Plane: Sort of their thing. How about "death from above"? That kinda sums them up. War is expensive Awesome Personnel Carrier - Humvee/any of it's super variants the Special Forces might have China Needs a trope about their propaganda machine. I have China's blessings - what infantry and tank crew think before getting poured on enemy, resulting in most of them kicking the bucket Patriotic Fervor - also goes for China. Dunno if their's should be called commie fervour instead. QUOTE Break Out The Museum Piece: Makes heavy use of Cold War era weaponry. Also goes for China - RGs apparently using bolt-action rifles or something similar. Helix for Chopper support and flying tank. Needs a trope showing they build structures on their tank QUOTE Kill It With Fire: The Chinese also heavily use incendiary weapons. How about "drown them in fire"? QUOTE Nuke 'Em: China's MO. Brighter then the sun? Russia needs a trope showing how they see the war as their glorious revenge. Needs another one showing how everything simply evaporates by the FoAB or Buratino shells. Hind for chopper support and flying tank. Armed to the teeth - Almost every vehicle have multiple weapon systems Training From Hell - also goes for the Spetsnaz Going ballistics - Topol-M Nuke 'Em - again Topol-M ECA Vessel buddies - their vessels in Africa Economic superpower Ground shattering - ECA artillery BFG - Manticore One tank army - Again Manitcore, for having build limit of 1 This post has been edited by SpiralSpectre: 15 Feb 2012, 7:38 |

Im new to this type of project and some of the terms used here. I might be interrested in helping out but, need a little help myself. So just to make things a little clearer whats: Fluff / is that like saying: Information? Trope / is that like saying: Trouble or mistake? Bit of clarification here, we're talking about this website and how ROTR's gonna get an article on it. Fluff = Background information that solely serves to flesh out the story universe with little actual impact in-game Trope = A linguistic/narrative device Now, some additions. Krieger, you already did a good job composing these and I'm going to expand on them. No specified order yet: Testosterone Poisoning: Colonel Burton. To a lesser degree, the Russian hero unit Boris Elites Are More Glamorous - Army Rangers act as standard infantry for the Americans. US Special Forces General Thorn even replaces them with Green Berets and Russian Rapid Deployment General Orlov takes it to the extreme by using Spetznas troopers for every possible purpose United Europe - Subverted when the Russians ruined it. However, I should be noted that the ECA never conceived itself as a fully unified, centralised super-state but a strong alliance between souvereign nations Brits With Battleships - ECA Fire Support General Charles Dutchmen With Destroyers - ECA Royal Guard General Willem We Are Not The Wehrmacht - ECA Mechanised Assault General Wolfgang First Name Basis - Inexplicably, the ECA generals Charles, Willem and Wolfgang are refered to by their first names History Repeats - Africa gets re-colonised by foreign powers, including Europe, the US, Russia and China, sometime in 2020 and all of them are in it mostly for the rare untapped resources African Terrorists - The new GLA is mostly based in central Africa Malevolent Masked Man - Russian Advanced Weapons General Aleksander is only seen wearing a gasmask. GLA Bio-Command General Ibrahiim prefers a shemagh and murky goggles He Who Fights Monsters - Getting abandoned by their US allies and ravaged by the GLA had quite an effect on the Europeans. The ECA is a democratic institution but at the same time, paranoid, secluded and with slight traces of authoritarianism. The Russian invasion may or may not push them over the edge |

Impossible Thief - Black Lotus, to a lesser extent the Capture upgrade.
Super Powered Mooks - Averted. Shock Troopers are feared to be superhuman but they just can push their bodies to the limit. Praetorian Guard - General Aleksandr does not entrust his personal security to poorly trained conscripts. An even finer line of Shock Troopers also act as his elite guard, you can only guess how elite these guys are. (Nightmare Fuel) New Meat - Russian Conscripts' only training is a 30 minute instructional video. Soon, they either are promoted or are expected to die in combat. Cold Sniper - Jarmen Kell. Weapon of Choice - Too many to list Mêlée à Trois - Although all factions have at least one common enemy but in reality they are all working against each other. Gentleman Thief - One of the scrapped concepts for the ECA Hero Phantom Thief - Hijacker -------------------- |

Some more:
China Takes Over The World - Subverted. They merely annex some of their smaller neighbours, buy large swathes of Africa and strong-arm all of south-east Asia into their hegemony America Takes Over The World - Inverted. After their retreat from Europe, the US revert to isolationism which eventually breaks their economy's back, forcing them to form an economic trade bloc with Canada and Mexico. They get better by the time Russia invades Europe though. Space Filling Empire - The creation of large, supra-national organisations like the corporate NAU, the pro-Russian NSAU, the powerless African Union and the pro-Chinese SSAN appears like this, although they only make an appearance in the backstory. Played somewhat straighter with China and Russia who annexed some of their neighbours Cruel And Unusual Death - Getting shot by bullets is probably the least nasty cause of death for the average infantryman. Getting dissolved by toxins, burned by napalm or disintegrated via Tesla bolt...not so much Sociopathic Soldier - Aleksander's Shock Troopers are trained to become this. The backstory describes their training methods as literally inhumane and those who survive to graduate end up as living war machines that run solely on fanatical nationalism, social-darwinism and pure hatred Badass Mustache - Russian hero Boris and General Orlov Cavalry Refusal - The Europeans did this to the Russian expeditionary forces in Africa, leading to their wholesale slaughter at the hands of the GLA. Russia didn't take kindly to it to say the least. Gatling Good - The Chinese employ a variety of gatling machine guns, all of which are completely overshadowed by the Russian Tremor superweapon which is a literal gatling artillery cannon Deadline News - Implied to be the fate of Eric Bryce from ECAN news after the Russians conquer Berlin It's Raining Men - The US and Russia can call in paratroopers Cool Versus Awesome |

Nuclear Weapons Taboo - Applies to all factions with exception of China and General Zhukov.
Mobile Factory - Vehicles are manufactured IN the battlefield. Moral Dissonance - Applies pretty much to all factions, though some more than others. Red Oni, Blue Oni - The US and China. Though at the opposite ends of the spectrum, they both counterbalance each other. Chekhov's Gun - The Tremor. It actually does more than repeatedly fire giant shells in a bombardment pattern. Cool plane - Applies to all factions and why they exist. Deconstruction - ROTR started out as a futuristic spin off of the Cold War gone wrong but the story has started to reflect a lot about the world of today and what it could become in a near future. Gunship Rescue - Normal occurrence in a game. -------------------- |

Chekhov's Gun - The Tremor. It actually does more than repeatedly fire giant shells in a bombardment pattern. That's not how Chekov's Gun works, it's supposed to be a seemingly trivial item that does no significant action until some point in the future, and the secret action isn't even given a hint. However, you can use the following tropes to describe the Tremor AGAS: Meaningful Name, Area of Effect, Earthquake Machine, BFG and Gatling good.General-specific Tropes/Character Sheets(Will be edited more later)
EDIT: Wow, MARS got ahead of me. EDIT2: Don't have much time, I'll be attending something. This post has been edited by GuardianTempest: 18 Feb 2012, 1:03 -------------------- |

Im a little confuse about this project... so we are to make little qoutes about each units, factions, building and what ever? Not make a Wiki for units, fact........ im so confused Massey Dude, it's explained above. Tropes are narrative devices your audience will recognise. "The Hero" is a trope. "Big Bad" is a trope. "Kill it with Fire" is a trope. Each of those and thousands upon thousands more are shorthands, concepts that are known and accepted. Whenever you write something, you use, consciously or not, tropes that have been used dozens of times before. In other words you cannot write a story that does not use tropes and that's why originality is dead. Creativity however is NOT, because that is clever use of tropes played in interesting ways. However, tropes are tools and nothing else. Using a lot of tropes won't make your work any better. That's reserved for writing style and presentation. Finally, TV Tropes itself is an analytic wiki with a humorous bend, figuring out why fiction and Real Life work the way and they do and their conventions.

Ace Pilot - US Airforce General Griffon
The Engineer - ECA General Willem's military background. Combat engineer to be precise A Father To His Men - ECA Fire Support General Charles enjoys great respect among his troops on a personal level Roaring Rampage Of Revenge - Red Army General Chen apparently did this to the GLA after witnessing a massacre Meaningful Name - General Griffon (=griffin) is an airforce commander, US Tank General Bradley shares the name of one of his vehicles and ECA General Wolfgang has been nicknamed 'the Huntsman' for his relentless pursuit of enemies Cool Old Guy - Russian Tactical Ballistics General Zhukov turned 63 in a media update. Comic Book Fantasy Casting - ECA General Wolfgang is clearly based on General Wolfgang Schneiderhan, former chief of staff of the German Bundeswehr and Russian Tactical Ballistics General Zhukov might as well be Marshal Georgy Zhukov reincarnate Continuity Reboot - SWR's RotR is very different from the mods original incarnation Artifact Title - Unlike the original Revora version, SWR no longer depicts the Russians as neo-communists, making the 'reds' part somewhat obsolete Dragon Ascendant - Done twice with the GLA. Bio Command General Ibrahiim started out as a commander in the army of Dr. Thrax and Warlord Sulaymaan used to be Deathstrike's lieutenant Black Market - Provides the GLA with income, upgrades and higher tier technologies PS @ GT Willem would be a Stonewall, which focusses entirely on defence wheras a Mighty glacier has supreme defence AND great power at the cost of mobility/speed |

Problems I have with current proposed tropes (<- "is a problem", -> "change into"):
BFG: The Particle Cannon <- It's an energy weapon. Eagleland: Both Types 1 and 2. <- How are they type 2? Kill Sat: Subverted with the Particle Beam Cannon -> Inverted Point Defenseless: Averted -> Subverted. Gatling Good: The Chinese make extensive use of Vulcan cannon like machine guns and autocannon. -> Gatling tanks, stationary base defenses and as upgrades. I Love Nuclear Power <- Only for usage with magical radiation, i.e. creating The Hulk. Kill It With Fire: The Chinese also heavily use incendiary weapons. -> Flamethrower tanks, infantry, artillery and even helicopters. More Dakka: See Gatling Good. -> Gatling weapons can be upgraded to have an even higher rate of fire. Slap On The Wrist Nuke: Clearly averted. -> Played with. It's stronger than the normal ZH nuke but still much weaker than a real warhead. BFG: The Sentinel Tank mounts a 220mm cannon. -> The Sentinel Tank mounts a 220mm cannon. Taken Up To Eleven with the Tremor, a giant gatling artillery cannon. Chain Lightning: Tesla weapons can have this effect. <- They cannot. Reds With Rockets/Russians With Rusting Rockets: Played straight. -> Russians With Rusting Rockets: Subverted. Red Oni, Blue Oni - The US and China. Though at the opposite ends of the spectrum very much alike. -> The US and China with matching colours even. Though at the opposite ends of the spectrum very much alike. |

Isn't red oni supposed to be fiery and impulsive? That's more USA IMO.
Blue oni is supposed to be reserved, calculating. That's China for sure. -------------------- |

Gotta agree with Joao. In terms of storyline, China is busy consolidating and developing their huge territorial gains from the previous war while their economy is still booming whereas the US got their backs to the wall after the near-death of their isolationist economy which led to large amounts of civil unrest back home. After the foundation of NAU, they became a lot more gung-ho, some would say downright aggressive. How else do you think did they get a hold of their African territories?
Admittedly, some of the lore-related tropes are currently based on our internal concepts; you can deduct them from things that we've already published but a few things about our universe haven't been made entirely clear to the public yet. |

Self Destructive Charge - Applies mostly to the GLA with suicide units and the Scorpion tank managing to get cross several meters when the unit is already dead (possibly managing to bring infantry down with him). Also applies to all infantry in the game since they keep fearlessly advancing even when they are crippled and an inch away from death.
Magnetic Hero - Fits Warlord General Sulaymaan best. His troops are undying loyal to him. His background and personality is modeled after great warlords of history and he's as ingenious and charismatic as most of them. Glorious Leader - General Aleksandr Hit and Run Tactics - Although all factions can do this to some extent, this is the GLA's specialty. Instant Death Radius - Applies to many units but particularly getting in the firing range of hard hitting and at the same time resilient units such as the Sentinel and Overlord. Meaning you'll need to overpower them with tactics or overpower them with sheer numbers. -------------------- |
